As I write, millions around the world are marching against the war in Iraq, but you persist in defending that born-again Christian (BAC) in the White House, which you have been doing ever since he has been elected. Since September 11, 2001, you have been particularly vociferous. Today’s issue about the rift in the so-called west, in which you defend him tooth and nail, is one example among many. I am truly puzzled. Prey, tell me, has The Economist been seized by a bunch of BACs? Or BAJs? Or, come to think of it, BAMs?
